Ha. I had been advised that processing speed was the real bottle neck so I'm working on the guy who looks after my computers to make me a dedicated hard drive for video.

If my free suggestion is not cutting the mustard, answers to all your questions can be found in the go pro forum

Cheers Kendog, I became frustrated yesterday as everything I downloaded was zipped, needed plug ins, codex's or quick time. I naively hoped to jump straight in & have a tutu. Oh well, best laid plans of mice men.

Tell me about it, I got an Ipad 2 and thought it would accept raw Go Pro video for imovie editing..... wrong.

The Passmark performance test would be a good start. Have a look at this link here http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html to make a comparison. With my i7 2600K at 4.8GHz I can get just over 12,000. I haven't benched it at 5GHz....yet.

You can download the performance test here http://www.passmark.com/products/pt.htm

Do you want to bench the video card(s) as well?

Radeon 6970. When I get the cash I will be going Crossfire.

Now I'm just waiting for my SSD to arrive in the mail and I should have a killer rig.

GTX 460 1 Gig here. Just running tests now

The GTX460 is a pretty good card. In SLI mode they will kill a GTX480.

3DMark 11 is probably the best bet for benching video cards. The free trial version is all you need.

The horror of owning your own computer store is that the temptation to build the ultimate machine eats away at you...
